In the course of investigations on anorexia during infection, I found that B6-A(y) mice had significantly increased sensitivity to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lethality as compared with isogenic B6 mice. I also found that the sensitivity to the lethal effect of LPS dramatically increased in aged mice (age effect), both B6 and B6-A(y). However, the A(y) effect of enhancing sensitivity to LPS-induced lethality...
